Register of licensed animal establishments - open data Edit

The Animal Welfare (licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (Scotland) Regulations 2021

Licences issued under The Animal Welfare (licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (Scotland) Regulations 2021 are required to be kept in a public register. The register can be viewed and contains details of all current animal licences issued by Stirling Council.

The Regulations came into force on 1 September 2021. They replaced previous legislation covering pet sales and dog breeding and introduced new licensing requirements for cat and rabbit breeders, animal welfare establishments (such as animal sanctuaries and rehoming centres) and other pet rehoming activities, subject to operators meeting the licensing criteria for each activity.
